问题     In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I’ll do it ". This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.  
According to the passage, the present tense in English is( ).

选项 A、not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future
B、used with some verbs but NOT with others to express future intention
C、basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
D、not the most difficult problem for foreign students

答案A

解析 细节题。文章中提到“a Spanish speaker who has been saying‘I do it’to expresswillingness to do something in the immediate future,”而英国人则用“I’ll do it”来表示将来想做某事。所以通过和native speaker的交流,就可以体会到英语中的一般现在时不用来表示“将来做某事的愿望”。因此只有A正确。
